as warren said.. if its a car your looking at, and can afford it (realistically), get the type r.. i went to the dealer and after i got out of the spaceship i asked where the switch was for the neon lights - that car is all rice..

but in the end mate, it aint turbo, and vtec actually kicks pretty hard.. so if its a racer boy type look your going for, then thats the one to get..

couldn't tell you about insurance as im in another country, however if you put it under your parent's name but you are a frequent driver then the premiums will drop big time.. only problem is you dont get the good rating if you dont crash a few years down the line.

that or get rid of the a3 and buy a 4cyl hatchback / sedan that is going to get you from a to b, with minimal fuel and low insurance premiums.. hit 22 years old and then buy your boy racer car.

yep, I'm very sure! I was discussing at length with elephant only 3 weeks ago why my old elise was group 21, but my new one - an exige, which is much more powerful is only a group 20......

insurance groups generally range from groups 1 - 20 and then there is the category of 20+ or it maybe called group 21 with some companies!

cheers for everyones input. i've had a shop around and it seems its not worth wasting the cash on insurance, and i'm not going for a boy racer look lol. i'm happy with my car atm, just want a bit more perfomrance, but not at the insurance company costs! but i can understand why it is so high, i'd say about 40% of my mates who are all 17/18 have badly smashed up or written off a car!!!

I think i'll just sit back and hopefully rack up some no claims.

Take the dosh you would have spent and stick it in some high risk stocks, if you're lucky you will make a tidy profit, if you don't. Well you were only going to waste it on insurance...
